Military & Aerospace Electronics August 2006 John Keller	Manufacturers of FPGA Programming Tools Struggle to Meet the New Demands of Designers The latest field-programmable gate arrays for military and aerospace applications are larger and more complex than they have ever been before, which is putting increasing pressure on vendors.
Military & Aerospace Electronics August 2006 Schultz & McCue	Design Considerations for Employing Electronic Slip Rings in Mission-Critical Military Systems Because the microwave or laser transmitters used in weapons systems are often moving faster than 360 degrees, slip ring technology is among the few solutions designers can find to eliminate cabling that would otherwise be twisted and tangled.
Military & Aerospace Electronics August 2006 John Keller	U.S. And Its Allies Get Serious About Systems Interoperability Recent international exercises involving U.S. and allied military forces, as well as police departments and first responders, are finally getting the idea across that military leaders are getting very serious about interoperability.
Military & Aerospace Electronics August 2006 John McHale	Purdue Researchers Look at Nanotechnology to Reduce Computer-Chip Heating University researchers are looking to mitigate electronic systems heating problems through the use of carbon nanotubes. They have created carpets of microscopic nanotubes to enhance the performance of heat sinks to help keep future chips from overheating.
Military & Aerospace Electronics August 2006 John McHale	Navy Burke-Class Destroyers Enhance Situational Awareness with RGB System The U.S. Navy's Arleigh Burke-class (DDG 51) guided-missile destroyers are employing multi-image display processors to improve the situational awareness communication capability aboard ship.
Military & Aerospace Electronics August 2006	New Global Hawk Production Aircraft Surpass 1,000 Combat Hours Two new Air Force RQ-4 Global Hawk unmanned aerial reconnaissance systems, built by Northrop Grumman Corp., have flown approximately 50 missions and more than 1,000 combat hours in support of coalition forces since their deployment in the Persian Gulf in January of this year.
Military & Aerospace Electronics August 2006 Courtney E. Howard	New UGV Technologies Hit the Ground Running in Urban and Off-Road Environments Unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), an integral part of the U.S. Army's Future Combat Systems, continue to advance in technology and functionality, as evidenced by recent releases from industry vendors.
Military & Aerospace Electronics August 2006 Courtney E. Howard	UUVs to Benefit Undersea Combat Forces Industry innovators are launching competitive designs of unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), with the winners earning an early slot in the U.S. Navy's UUV Master Plan.
Military & Aerospace Electronics August 2006 John Keller	DARPA NAV Program Seeks to Make Insect-like Surveillance UAVs a Reality U.S. military researchers are kicking off a project to develop an unmanned aerial vehicle called the nano air vehicle, which is roughly the size of a dragonfly, to perform covert surveillance and reconnaissance missions in important and dangerous areas.
Chemistry World August 14, 2006 Michael Gross	Barcode for Toxin Sensors Stripy nanowires have been developed as a platform for the simultaneous detection of different toxins or bioweapons.
